Chapter 122: Lao Wang
Liu Die's watched Wang Yan change from the youngest eldest daughter of Duke An Han to the queen step by step, then the queen mother, the queen mother of Ding'an, and finally the head of the Huang royal family.
I think that when Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was established, the common people, all beings, and people above the Lang officials ran to Canglong Que every day to guard the Que more than 1,000 people, and the ministers or doctors or the court, or the provincial households. It seems that the whole world hopes that Wang Mang's daughter can be the queen, which is not lacking in the secret operation of An Hangong's minions, but it is indeed expected.
Naji Bu Xiao was calculated with the help of his father Liu Xin, and after getting the name of the head of the Huang royal family "Wang Yan", Zhao met the king of Jinshui, and the hexagram met his parents to get the throne.
After that, Liu Xin served as the ceremonial official, and the entire wedding ceremony was also Liu Xin's single-handed, striving to achieve Wang Mang's requirements, simple and elegant.
Liu Xin tried his best to make Liu and Wang Qin join each other, hoping to make Wang Mang feel at ease, so as to achieve a harmonious state of "Wang and Liu, sharing the world", but unfortunately this balance was not maintained for a few years and was still broken.
After the new family became the Han dynasty, the identity of the head of the Huang royal family became embarrassing, she was the eldest princess of the new emperor on the one hand, but she was also the queen mother of the former dynasty. She has always been graceful and disciplined, and moved to live in the Ding'an Pavilion opposite Xuanmingli, and became a simple house, often called the illness and the court.
Liu Die knew that the Zhen family, the founding hero of the country, who had been listed as the secretary of state alongside his family, was greedy for the identity and appearance of the head of the Huang royal family, made Fu Rui, and wanted to marry her. Although this matter is yellow, Wang Mang is probably ashamed, or has other ideas, and wants her to remarry, but the Huang royal family is furious and resolutely refuses, almost to the extent of suicide by hunger strike, and the emperor can't force it.
But today, why did he suddenly enter the palace?
Liu Dian knew the truth, but his family was in an embarrassing situation now, and he didn't dare to say much, so he only told Wu Lun ambiguously.
"The lord of the Huang royal family has been in the palace to take care of the queen for a long time, and he is in the Jiaofang Palace."
Fifth Lun suddenly, Wang Mang's queen is also surnamed Wang, after Zhaoxuan's prime minister Yichunhou, it is really miserable to be Wang Mang's wife, after all, Lao Wang treats his children and grandchildren extremely harshly, and has ordered two sons and one grandson to commit suicide, I heard that the queen is blind and weak because of this.
The new king Wang An is a fool, and the work of taking care of the queen was originally the crown prince's work, but after the prince was abolished, he moved to live in the outer place, and he was not allowed to enter the palace unless he asked for his life, and of course this burden could only be carried by the eldest daughter.
I just don't know what she came to do today?
In terms of personal emotion, the emperor is obviously more ruthless, and the interview of the Yellow Imperial Family Lord did not last long, and it came out soon. Fifth Lun was still waiting in the studio, but his footsteps deliberately moved out, and he secretly peeked at it when he saluted, and this time he finally saw the true face of the Huang Imperial Family.
But I saw that it was a woman in her twenties, who was much older than Fifth Lun anyway, and almost taller than him. Her hair was coiled up in the style of a married woman, and her countenance, though not decorated with powder, was very beautiful, and her lips were a little red, but her eyes were red as if she had cried in them.
When the head of the Huang royal family came out, he saw Liu Die, the Liu clan member who had gone with Liu Xin to greet him when she married into the palace, and also saluted him.
Liu Di was busy bowing down, but he didn't dare to have any conversation, and only after the Huang Imperial Lord left in the carriage again, he sighed secretly and took the fifth Lun in.
After entering the palace room, there is no imaginary luxury and luxury, all you can see is simple, the clever decorations of the Han Dynasty have all been removed, the clothes and appearance of the palace maids are even far inferior to the Qiongcheng Houfu, they are all the former palace people of Lao Baba, I heard that their skirts do not cover their knees in the summer and autumn when it is hot, so as to save some fabric for the palace.
On the way, I met the small yellow door with the dining utensils out, and it was actually a clay pot and wooden utensils. Listening to Liu Die, the emperor has insisted on simplicity, more than ten years as a day, no paint, no gold and silver, in order to set an example for the world, after all, Confucianism has always believed that the reason why the Han family is declining is because of moral degradation and too much luxury.
After a few palaces, the palace where the emperor was located had arrived, and the doors were opened one after another.
There are many rules for meeting the emperor, and Wu Lun was ordered by the official to meet him when he saw the emperor, and he must "tend" when he sees the emperor; The expression can't be hippie and smiling, it must be serious and colorful; There must also be movements in the hands, when making a salute, first open your arms, the wide placket is like a pair of wings of a bird, and you must keep it upright when bowing, although the clothes will flutter back and forth, but it must be neat and not messy.
It's really too difficult, I don't know if it's messy or not, so I only bow down after the bow: "Minister Fifth Lun, meet Your Majesty!" ”
His knees hurt a little, this Wang Mang is indeed too stingy, he doesn't even pad his fur blankets, and he doesn't burn charcoal, it is the season when it is warm and cold, and the whole palace is as cold as an ice storehouse, which really doesn't look like a place for the living.
Wang Mang's tone was very warm: "The fifth secretary is exempt from courtesy." ”
After raising his head, this time the fifth Lun was able to enter about ten steps away from Wang Mang, and there was no mica screen to cover it, so he could see his clothes and appearance clearly.
Wang Mang was wearing a regular suit, because of the case in front of him, Wu Lun did not see the legendary patch, this is really a "democratically elected emperor", although this emperor is not elected by the voters one vote, but it is almost the same, after all, there are 487,572 people before and after, and the letter asks Wang Mang to go further, not to be a Hanchen, to be the new emperor.
As for the appearance, in the short time of the fifth lun, I only saw that Wang Mang was not as ugly as some people outside had legends, his mouth was a little big, his chin was a little protruding, and his face was quite honest. He looked tall when he sits, but his complexion was not ordinary yellow, but a strange orange yellow, I don't know if it was frozen or powdered, and his hair was covered by a crown, and I don't know how many were black or white.
"Qing fought in Saibei, worked horses, and returned to the dynasty from the new Qin, worked hard all the way, and gave the seat."
Wang Mang's voice was slightly hoarse, but his words were unexpectedly kind, and he smiled at Wang Ye of Zhonghuangmen, who was standing aside: "In the past, the fifth Lun wrote to ask for help, and he was willing to enlist in the Northern Expedition, and some people also said that he was too young to be given a heavy responsibility, but otherwise, the fifth Lun really did not let Yu down." ”
The fifth Lun Nene promised, even the place where he sat was so hard, but he could only sit upright, which was really not easy to meet the emperor.
Seeing that Wang Mang's case was surrounded by a mountain of songs, and several middle and small yellow doors were serving and assisting him in handling government affairs, I heard that the emperor of the new room was famous for his diligence, and the rooster crowed, and he couldn't sleep at night, so that no matter how much he covered his face, he couldn't cover the bags under his eyes, as well as the bloodshot in his eyes.
Wang Mang first asked Wu Lun what he had seen and heard in Biansai, and Wu Lun felt the eyes of the Zhonghuang Sect, and only picked the good ones and said, Wang Mang must have also learned about the chaos outside, but believe it or not, say it separately.
When mentioning his great contribution to the defeat of the Xiongnu in the New Qin, Wu Lun was also very humble and put all the credit on the head of another person.
"Your Majesty, the minister is young and weak, and he can repel the Hu Lu thieves, thanks to the strength of General Dou!"
Fifth Lun was afraid that Wang Mang would let him be the main force to fight with the Qingxu and Jingyang rebels, and desperately pushed Dou Rong forward, who let Dou Zhougong come back later than him, first leave an impression on Wang Mang, and when the time comes, send Dou Rong to death, and Fifth Lun will follow behind to preserve his strength, how good it is to not move like a mountain.
Although he pretended to be a loyal minister in his words and deeds, but Wu Lun was young after all, and he was not a close confidant of the emperor, so he naturally would not consult him about the country's plans.
"What do you think about Han Wei's surrender to Hu?"
From the Zhonghuangmen next to him to the fifth Lun, they couldn't help but get nervous, after Han Wei lost his division, from Zhangye and Wuwei in Hexi to Wang Kuang, the Taishi, and Lian Dan, the first general, they all threw the pot on Han Wei, and even leaked rumors that he was defeated and surrendered, and followed the old story of Li Ling.
Wu Lun only bowed his head and said: "At that time, the minister was just a military Sima, not a confidant of General Tunhu, and he was often a heel army on the road, and the general went out to fight, and I stayed in the rear, as for the life and death of the general, I also heard oral rumors that he would die, or die, or surrender, ......and so on."
Speaking of this, Wu Lun couldn't bear it in his heart, although Han Wei was a mediocre general, but after all, he died on the battlefield of Hu Hu, which was still different from the civil war, he only said carefully: "This is due to insufficient information, and the minister thinks that it is better to wait for a while, and when the mud and sand in the water are gone, he will know that it is turbid." ”
"The fifth secretary said this very good." Unexpectedly, these words hit Wang Mang's heart, and he sighed: "Han Wu treats the generals and ministers like captives, and there are petty crimes and defeats that they are often slaughtered, so that the generals tremble, cowardly and dare not enter, and Bowang Hou Zhang Qian and others are also humiliated by the prison officials. ”
"But it's not the case, although Li Xin lost his teacher in Chu, if he was killed immediately, how could he have the merit of destroying Qi later?"
Fifth Lun imagined, according to what he thought Wang Mang was doing, he might be annoyed and angry, and he would kill Han Wei's whole family, but Wang Mang thought that although Han Wei was defeated, he also had the courage to hit Hu, and his merits and demerits were compensated, and now his life and death are unknown, and his family members must be properly placed and adopted, and they can't chill the hearts of the soldiers, even if Han Wei really falls, Wang Mang still stubbornly thinks that maybe he has other plans to repay the favor of the new room.
When is it, Ning still expects the inside and outside to join forces to destroy the Huns?
Fifth Lun is understandable, why is Lian Dan's fight so embarrassing, Wang Mang is still as trustworthy as before, it's not good to be too harsh on the general, but it's a big problem to be too lenient, right? Whether this mercy is being used to the wrong person.
But the fifth Lun was silent, and only praised the emperor's benevolence.
Although Wang Mang is still uneasy about the Huns, the overall situation of the court's major policy has been decided, and the fifth Lun is also curious, Wang Mang, who has always liked face and never bowed to the Hu people, how to find a reason to stop fighting? After all, although the imperial court hyped up Dou Rong and Wulun's defeat of the Xiongnu in an attempt to cover up Han Wei's defeat, the fact that thousands of people were out of the fortress and lost their divisions could not be concealed.
"Yu should have had another accident to hit Hu, but Yu Ren's Gong Nu is good at being a stalker."
Wang Mang showed regret on his face, and Wu Lun was stunned for a while before reacting.
In this war, Wang Mang launched it in the name of supporting Wang Zhaojun's son-in-law Su Budang, and now that Xu Budang is dead, the excuse for war is gone!
The dignified king of the teacher, you can't be a teacher, forget it, and let Hu Lu jump off the beam for a while.
This made Wu Lun deeply suspicious, did Su Budang die in such a timely manner, was he really sick from the water and soil? Why did he meet him on the Hongmen platform last year, this Gongnu was good at being strong and strong.
Zhonghuangmen coughed lightly, reminding the emperor that the time had come, and there was still important business after that.
Wang Mang then issued a reward for the fifth Lun: "Today, Hu Lu has not been destroyed, the barbarians have not been burned, the rivers and lakes are boiling, and the thieves are not all destroyed. Add the official 'Taizhong Doctor', rank is more than a thousand stones, give the title of scattered horseman, wait for the edict Golden Horse Gate, and enter the palace at any time. ”
Doctor Taizhong is just an idle job, and the more important thing is that the "loose ride" means that the fifth Lun can often enter and leave the palace, and wait for the fifth Lun to receive the seal out of the Xuanshu Palace.
"It seems that I don't need to rush to the army for the time being, and I can finish the marriage as soon as possible." Fifth Lun was very pleased with this temporary appointment.
Liu Di led the way for the fifth Lun again, and took him to Jinmamen to report to Sizhong (Guangluxun), and after he was busy with everything, it was already afternoon, and he didn't have time to leave the palace, but he heard a burst of mourning and crying, coming from somewhere in the palace, it seemed to be the location of the Jiaofang Palace.
This cry seemed to be contagious, and gradually even Yeting and Yongxiang were crying, although most of the palace people were lying on the ground and howling, but Liu Die's face turned pale for a moment, and he couldn't care about Wu Lun.
When the fifth Lun walked to the door of Canglongque with trepidation, he learned what had happened.
"The queen is broken!"
